Pakistan is the real answer to the question: why is the United States in Afghanistan, fighting a war it knows it is going to lose?

Every one of these questions has two parts, the American Empire part - i. e., the way the Jews spin the issue to entice the American Military Industrial Complex to bite on something that is against the interests of Americans - and the real reason, the goals of World Jewry.

Afghanistan has two sets of reasons, the original reasons, and the long-term current reasons. The original reason prepared by the traitor-Jews in the White House to fool the American Empire was that taking over Afghanistan would allow the building of a gas pipeline (not to mention it provided a kind of revenge for September 11, and the idea that the Americans were doing something about it). The original real reason was that the attack on Afghanistan - under the guise of finding bin Laden! - was the first War For The Jews, a relatively palatable way of leading the United States into fighting the wars required by World Jewry to clean an area for Greater Israel. Under the flag of Bibi's 'War on Terror', it was supposed to, and did, lead directly to the attack on Iraq. It was the training-wheels war, preparing American popular opinion for wars of choice.

The current reason for the war in Afghanistan, from the point of view of the American Military Industrial Complex, is to take up the slack in arms requirements after the United States leaves Iraq. It is a corporate welfare program for arms makers. The current reason for the war from the point of view of World Jewry, i. e., the real reason for the war, is the destabilization of Pakistan.

Pakistan has a huge population. Due to its feudal economy, all the brightest minds end up in the military, and Pakistan has one of the most formidable armies in the world. It also has the bomb and a way to deliver it. Finally, it is fervently anti-Zionist. It is little wonder that one of the main goals of World Jewry is weakening or destroying Pakistan. The plan is to destabilize or even eliminate Pakistan by roiling up the border areas, areas under very tenuous control of the central governments. The numerous direct American attacks on Pakistan are just a part of the destabilization process.

The big Zionist plan is to have the Indians help in this, ideally through war, but the Indians are too smart, realizing that the break-up of Pakistan will lead to huge pressures in India towards the break-up of India. It is curious that this kind of tension is also thwarting Zionist goals to break up Iraq.

No anonymous, they do not want to get people high, only the proceedings thereof. Illicit and unseen channels accross borders and within governments have this uncanny capacity to be used for many purposes simultaneously. Foreign policy is a multi-level, multi-loyalty game, your yawn and staw man notwithstanding.

I am reminded of how Turkey eventually came to be called the sick man of Europe; many now call Pakistan the sick man of Asia..Except the Pakistani officer corps won't let that happen.When I see the tremendous achievement of its nuclear bomb and delivery systems, much improved upon from the original designs, I can see why India's just a little bit scared to try anything right now. That's why we have this unique beast called the Pakistani Taliban, trained by the U.S. and infiltrated from Afghanistan, the limp resurgence of the Balochistan National Front, (its leader promptly killed by the army) and lots of noise from India, but not much else.Pakistan is just part of the end game in the War against Islam, and seems, that this is where America will lose.

There is no reason to assume that 'the Taliban' (and this is an extremely elastic term) ever really stamped downon poppy production. It's more a matter of not selling it to the world market via CIA intermediaries, which is what the USA prefers since obviously that way it controls the trade and gets the lion's share of the profits.

There was a useful article about Afghan opium and heroin on Global Research a day or two ago, which I have copied to Niqnaq.

Fine but destabilizing Pakistan doesn't necessarily work in favor of Israeli hegemony. One argument is that it strengthens those fundamentalist forces in both countries - some are even predicting a Taliban victory in the long run....

Yes, Xymph is right. The point is to destablize Pakistan and remove the Muslm bomb for Israel's sake and for the sake of the permanent war crowd. If Obama continues, how long will it be before we understand that this is the Rahm Emanuel administration?Ronald

This is an very well written post. Israel fear Pakistan's nuclear capability. There are now around 50000 "israelis" in the coastal cities India claiming its a great vacation spot(yeah right, Mumbai ring a bell?).While drugs are certainly a part of their involvement in Afghanistan, its also their fear prophecies that an army will rise from the ancient land of Khorosan(of whom Pakistan and Afghanistan is a part of) to wipe out Israel.

After consulting with our Islamabad bureau, reading other news organisations’ reports and scouring the web, I have the feeling — familiar to anyone who has reported from that part of the world — that the more you look at this deal, the less you see besides the fact of the deal itself. The devil isn’t hiding in the details because there aren’t many there. He’s playing a bigger political game.

First, look at the deal that made all the headlines. On February 16, the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) government agreed with the local Swat Islamist leader Maulana Sufi Mohammad what was essentially a sharia-for-peace swap. The short text was all of two paragraphs in the original, as reported in the Urdu daily Roznama Express (Daily Express, below). The MEMRI Blog has the Urdu original (click here) and a translation that says they agreed that:http://blogs.reuters.com/faithworld/2009/02/26/the-more-you-look-the-less-you-see-in-swat-sharia-deal/

Vatican says Holocaust-denying bishop's apology not enough for entry as prelate into church

By NICOLE WINFIELD February 27, 2009

VATICAN CITY - An apology from a bishop who denied the Holocaust wasn't good enough, the Vatican said Friday, adding that he must repudiate his views if he wants to be a Roman Catholic clergyman.

The statement by Bishop Richard Williamson "doesn't appear to respect the conditions" the Vatican set out for him, said the Rev. Federico Lombardi, a spokesman for the pope.

In an interview broadcast last month on Swedish state TV and in previous letters and speeches, Williamson denied 6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust, saying about 200,000 or 300,000 were murdered. He said none was gassed.

Williamson apologized for his remarks on Thursday upon his arrival in his native Britain after being ordered to leave Argentina. He said he would never have made them if he had known "the full harm and hurt to which they would give rise."

But he didn't say he had been wrong or that he no longer believed what he had said.

On Friday, German Justice Minister Brigitte Zypries said Germany could issue a European-wide arrest warrant on hate crimes charges for Williamson since the Swedish TV interview was conducted in Germany.

State prosecutors in Regensburg, Germany, have opened a preliminary investigation into whether Williamson broke German laws against Holocaust denial.

As you may know, Zündel, Sundel, Zendel, Zengel, Stundel, Sindell etc are all Polish Jew names. Zündel was a publisher, a profession that the Jews have a strangle-hold on. Zündel's cause is pimped by well known operatives of the Jew false opposition.

Zundel, managed to be charged for publishing a book, "Did Six Million Really Die?," that he never wrote. Publishers are not held responsible for what others write.

If he really wanted to escape the charge, he could have. However, he didn't want to escape the charge.

The court cases were just games that Jews play to influence opinion.

Also, owning both sides of the case, ensures the "correct" outcome.

Irving is a Jew name. But more importantly, Irving's actions (like going to Austria to get arrested when he had no real reason to go) and the articles on his web site are clear evidence that the dude is Jew false opposition.

In fact, Irving's mother's maiden name is Dolman, a Jewish name. Apparently, Irving has admitted being of Jew descent to various people. In any case, Irving's actions and writings show him to be false opposition.

Irving was probably paid a reasonable sum for the months he spent in prison.

Aymeric Chauprade lost his job allegedly over the introduction to his latest book about political crises around the world, and more specifically, that the 9/11 attacks in New York City and Washington D.C. were an orchestrated "American-Israeli conspiracy".

I see yet more of this space-wasting shit about prominent supposed 'anti-Semites' being secret Jews every time I visit. It's an insult to my intelligence. It's also fairly obviously an attempt to smear the whole blog. There are a large number of crappy US fora where they can post this stuff. Xymph, I say again, is a coward for not moderating it.

Mid-September 2001: Israel and US Plan Contingency to Steal Nuclear Weapons from Pakistan

According to Seymour Hersh of The New Yorker, a few days after 9/11 members of the elite Israeli counterterrorism unit Sayeret Matkal arrive in the US and begin training with US Special Forces in a secret location. The two groups are developing contingency plans to attack Pakistan’s military bases and remove its nuclear weapons if the Pakistani government or the nuclear weapons fall into the wrong hands. [NEW YORKER, 10/29/2001] There may have been threats to enact this plan on September 13, 2001. The Japan Times later notes that this “threat to divest Pakistan of its ‘crown jewels’ was cleverly used by the US, first to force [Pakistani President] Musharraf to support its military campaign in Afghanistan, and then to warn would-be coup plotters against Musharraf.” [JAPAN TIMES, 11/10/2001]

Looks like Pakistan has been the target all along, but bullies don't like picking on someone who can fight back.

Better to go into Afghanistan and teach those ingrates the lessons of Imperial Power, then use Afghanistan as a base to destabilize the region.

These 'secret plans' that show up in the front pages of the New Yorker are usually Jewish Psyop pieces for domestic audiences, Greg.I know people on the general staff and also the 'Islamist' cadres in the Army and they've made it clear the one thing they'd never allow is let the bombs get taken over, and at the first attempt to attack the facilities, they'd launch. In the meantime, there's all that American weaponry that's being given to them as a bribe...

Xymphora touched on something I have thought about Pakistan: its feudal nature. Pakistanis are still conditioned to support the landholders in a society created well before the Muslim invaders; small wonder the best and brightest just leave.The best actually used to go into the civil service, which was efficient and fairly corruption free until the 70's, and the Pakistani Foreign Service was well respected too, but these positions are now filled by land holding Pakistani oligarchs, not too bright thugs with no sense of responsibility to Pakistan beyond their own aggrandisement.Pakistan's scientific community was galvanised by Nobel Prize (in Physics)winner Prof. Abdus Salam (he just missed getting a second one) and there were so many physicists who were well above the grandstanding AQ Khan in ability that helped develop the Pakistani N Bomb. There is a dichotomy in Pakistani society with the financial and intellectual elites doing their best to keep themselves (and the country) afloat and the feudalists (who often use the Islamists to hold on to power) using the country as their own personal piggy bank. The Bhuttos, Zardaris, and Sharifs, the civilian politicians who can always count on the support of their peasant sharecroppers, are the rats in the woodpile.Pakistan is very like Turkey, with whom it has close ties. The Armed Forces will probably take over the country again if the civilians get too out of hand.But there is one reason above all, why Pakistan was the end game. Pakistan, with all its dysfunction, is the natural leader of the Muslim world. Not Saudi, not Iran. It was the defender of the Arab countries against the creation of Palestine at the United Nations in 1948; it now has the Islamic Bomb, and that is what scares Zionists, Americanists and even, Muslim Quislingists.

there is a potential and objective way of moderating a blog, namely, if an ip address is source of egregious self plagiarism.there can be a kind of multivariate function with a binary outcome, e.g., a post is reposted 3 or more times, entire paragraphs/sentences lifted out of previous posts and pasted into new ones say, 4 or more times and the ip is blocked from further input.

someone with knowledge of perl or php could code this w/o too much sweat, i would think.

probably he leaves out of his explanations of politics the ones that have been filling their pockets and his purse? only naming minor actors as usual, but I haven't followed his stories, being disappointed by that circus of politics anyhow.

You can't really trust anyone. You have to use your common sense and instincts. Even a basically good person can be given bad information and taken in. Hersh couldn't have gotten where he's gotten without being useful to someone. In order to keep his credibility though, a lot of what he says by definition has to be true. He may not present all the facts (he may self censor) or the conclusions he points to may be skewed. And sometimes he may be spot on. Rense and Madsen types are pure entertainment.

Two public officials - the Navy chief and a deputy attorney general - together have destroyed Rehman Malik's case of 'admission of guilt' in Mumbai attacks. The government has fired the deputy attorney general for taking a stand, but no one in the Pakistani media noticed since it is busy in the latest Pakistani political circus. But it is this story that could unravel this staunchly pro-U.S. setup.By AHMED QURAISHISaturday, 28 February 2009.WWW.AHMEDQURAISHI.COM

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan-Two developments in Pakistan have thwarted the deliberate effort of Pakistan's pro-U.S. government to take the Mumbai investigations on a path that leads to placing the blame on the Pakistani military and intelligence.Figure 1: Mr. Malik, with a broad smile, triumphantly declaring Pakistan's responsibility in Mumbai attacks.The two developments, one by a public prosecutor and the other by the Pakistani military, confirms that the Zardari government, and especially his confidant and interior adviser Rehman Malik, deliberately led Pakistan into acquiescence to American and Indian demands by accepting partial responsibility for Mumbai attacks without verifiable evidence. It also raises questions about the motives of this government.The first development took place on Feb. 18, when Zardari government's special public prosecutor in the Mumbai attacks Sardar Mohammad Ghazi issued a statement saying Islamabad is formally requesting India to extradite Ajmal Kassab, the alleged lone survivor of the Mumbai attacks. This was a surprising statement considering how the Zardari government unilaterally accepted - on behalf of Pakistan - every single piece of questionable Indian and American 'evidence' linking the attacks to elements with past links to Pakistani intelligence.Sardar's statement shook the Indians and the Americans, who lobbied hard to ensure Pakistan accepted some responsibility for the attacks as a prelude to implicating Pakistan's ISI.Pakistani investigators have yet to independently confirm that Kassab is indeed a Pakistani citizen, or that the person in Indian custody is indeed Ajmal Kassab. Taking advantage of the political turmoil inside the country, President Zardari on Friday, Feb. 27, quietly fired Sardar from his job as the Deputy Attorney General. Zardari's move was shrewd. No one in the Pakistani media paid attention. Sardar created a hole in the investigations led by Rehman Malik, the de facto interior minister. But the Chief of Naval Staff, Admiral Noman Bashir, bulldozed Malik's case in its entirety, coming out on the same day when the special prosecutor was fired to say that he has seen no evidence that shows Kassab went to Indian from Pakistan in a boat, as India says and as the Zardari government says.Rehman Keeps ISI OutMalik had ensured that the ISI stayed away from the investigations. He assigned a civilian department, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), to conduct the probe. On Jan. 16, an excited Malik came to a press conference and with broad smiles flashed a photograph of a boat he said that Kassab and his colleagues used to travel from Karachi to Mumbai. This was supposed to be the smoking gun that confirmed that Pakistanis did use Pakistani soil to attack India. The indirect message was supposed to be this: that the country's military or intelligence is involved, since Pakistan has been supporting anti-India groups in Kashmir.Malik's revelations were stunning because he couldn't show any progress in 12 months in resolving the murder mystery of Benazir Bhutto but here he was 'successfully' resolving in a few days a complex case that transcends borders.Adm. Bashir's salvo came on the same day that President Zardari quietly fired the public prosecutor who challenged his government's admission of guilt on Mumbai. Adm. Bashir said he has seen no evidence that Kassab traveled by boat from Karachi to India. He said there was no way anyone could escape Pakistani naval intelligence. And even if it happened, he added, where was the Indian navy that claims to be preparing itself for a global role?The Navy chief's statement basically confirmed that, unlike Mr. Malik's admission of guilt and acceptance of Indian 'evidence' without challenge, Pakistani investigators want to confirm how Kassab reached Indian soil by sea penetrating the security parameters of the Indian navy. This breach is ironic considering how the Indian navy never ceases to boast that its readiness matches its 'mission' to police the entire Indian Ocean along with U.S., Britain and Australia. Pakistani suspicions are also legitimate because India's own investigations leave many important questions unanswered, especially regarding the inside help that Mumbai terrorists received to achieve their objective. Pakistanis have reason to believe that India's intelligence services posing as diplomats in countries surrounding India have been reported to have kidnapped unassuming Pakistani citizens to use them to stage terrorist acts and blame them on Pakistan.

Why Elected Govt. Keen To Capitulate?This brings us to the question: Why is the Zardari government so keen on seeing Pakistan take responsibility for Mumbai attacks?The Zardari government is an elected government. But its election and the arrangement to bring it to power were manipulated by Washington, which weakened the previous military government through terrorism from Afghanistan and through direct secret contacts with Pakistani politicians, forcing a beleaguered Pervez Musharraf to cut a deal brokered by U.S. State Department to ease Benazir Bhutto, ANP and MQM into power. Zardari's corruption cases and those of other politicians in power were withdrawn thanks to this U.S.-brokered deal. Not to mention that the personal wealth and assets of President Zardari, Mr. Rehman Malik, Ambassador Haqqani and other stalwarts of his government, are based in either the United States or Britain. They have no interest in antagonizing Washington or London. But why is Washington so keen to see Islamabad accept responsibility for Mumbai attacks?Why U.S. Wants To Target Pak Military?At a time when U.S. is in trouble in Afghanistan and wants to put more pressure on Pakistan, the Mumbai attacks are a blessing. The attacks allow Washington to exert pressure on Pakistani military, and especially blackmail ISI. If Pakistan accepts that Kashmiri groups were behind the attacks, it would mean that Pakistani military bears some responsibility and its case of supporting Kashmiri freedom groups in Indian occupied Kashmir is discredited. Overall, Mumbai attacks provide a perfect opportunity to threaten the Pakistani military and intelligence from Pakistan's eastern borders even as U.S. keep the pressure from the west, through U.S.-inspired insurgencies emanating from Afghanistan. Washington wants an emasculated Pakistani military, capable of holding Pakistan together but without the ability to defend Pakistani national security interests. How Pakistan Benefits From Adm. Bashir's Statement?A fickle and shortsighted Pakistani media was busy in the local political circus to take note of the internal revolt against Zardari government's Mumbai investigations. This is the time to highlight these discrepancies and discredit the positions of the Zardari and the Indian governments. The firing of the deputy attorney general by President Zardari must be highlighted in the media. And both Mr. Zardari and his interior minister Mr. Malik must not be allowed to get away with their soft position on India's failure so far to answer the list of 30 questions that Pakistani investigators posed to Indian authorities regarding Mumbai attacks. New Delhi is procrastinating on this request. Mr. Zardari and Mr. Malik must not be allowed to provide India a safe exit. The opening salvos by the Pakistani naval chief and the ex-public prosecutor are a good start."

From the Foreign Policy blog:http://blog.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2008/02/14/pakistan_offers_drunken_americans_advice_on_nuke_security"The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists reports on a press conference in Islamabad from a few days back: Pakistani Brig.Gen. Atta M. Iqhman expressed concern about U.S. procedures for handling nuclear weapons.Iqhman's deputy, Colonel Bom Zhalot added this twist:We also worry that the U.S. commander-in-chief has confessed to having been an alcoholic. Here in Pakistan, alcohol is 'haram,' so this isn't a problem for us. Studies have also found that one-fifth of U.S. military personnel are heavy drinkers. How many of those have responsibility for nuclear weapons?"Update: Looks like I was taken by those pranksters at The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. The article turns out to be a satire, and a brilliant one at that. In retrospect, the MSNBC reporter named "Jay Keuse" probably should have tipped me off. In my defense, this sort of pushback seems totally plausible coming from the Pakistani military, which has been adamant that its nukes are secure."
